Soul Asylum is an American alternative rock band formed in 1981 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They are best known for their Grammy-winning 1993 hit "Runaway Train". Originally called [a1422017], the band consisted of Dave Pirner, Dan Murphy, Karl Mueller, and Pat Morley. In 1983, they changed their name to Soul Asylum and replaced Morley with Grant Young in 1984.
The band initially struggled commercially, recording three albums with Twin/Tone Records and two with A&M Records without much success. However, everything changed in 1992 when they released the triple-platinum album Grave Dancers Union which featured the iconic song "Runaway Train". The following year, Soul Asylum had the honor of performing at President Bill Clinton's inauguration.
Three years later, they achieved another platinum record with the album Let Your Dim Light Shine. With a unique blend of alternative rock sound and powerful lyrics, Soul Asylum continues to captivate audiences worldwide with their timeless music.

5-LP boxed set traces the history of the band through their indie, pre-major label years. Includes a 20-page book with liner notes and previously unseen photos and memorabilia. The albums are being reissued on vinyl for the first time since their original releases. Co-produced by Twin / Tone co-founder Peter Jesperson and Grammy®-winning producer Cheryl Pawelski. Soul Asylum first hit the Minneapolis music scene in early 1981. Core members Dave Pirner, Dan Murphy, and Karl Mueller met at local punk rock shows. Coming up in the shadow of formidable bands like Hüsker Dü and The Replacements, show they were all big fans of, was daunting but, ultimately, it inspired them to make a name for themselves. Soul Asylum stood out immediately because of their work ethic and smart, punky hard rock sound. They made four records for hometown label, Twin / Tone Records, before moving on to the majors; first A&amp;M, then Columbia where they scored two platinum albums and won a Best Rock Song Grammy® for Runaway Train. This special five-LP boxed set brings together Soul Asylum’s earliest albums (Say What You Will . . . Anything Can Happen, Made To Be Broken, and While You Were Out), their classic EP (Clam Dip and Other Delights), and the bonus track compilation and special new album (Twin / Tone Extras), a compilation that picks up select bonus tracks featured on the CD reissues of Soul Asylum’s Twin/Tone releases.
